THE IMMUNOHISTOCHEMICAL STUDY OF HUMAN OVARIN TISSUE USING MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES AGAINST PORCINE ZONA PELLUCIDA(ZP-OVA) / 解剖学报

ABSTRACT

Three hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies (Mab) to zona pellucida of porcine ovarian egg(ZP-OVA) were established(LPDg, LPC4, LPD,).Two Mab(LPD_8 LPC_4) were examined against human ovarian tissue by immunohistochemical technique in vitro. We found that the two Mab had cross-reaction with zona pellucida and ovum cytoplasm and no cross-reaction with membrana granulosa and theca folliculi. It showed that there were affinities of LPD_8 and LPC_4 to antigenic determinamts in the ovum cytoplasm and common antigenic components in zona pellucida and ovum cytoplasm. It suggested that the zona pellucida was derived from oocyte.
